By Felix P. Nater, IAPSC member
 On January 19, 2016, I represented the IAPSC at the ASIS/NFPA Active Shooter Stakeholder Meeting at the Ritz Pentagon, Arlington, VA. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the need for active shooter protocols and identify next steps. There were approximately 100 attendees from various private, public, and law enforcement organizations around the United States and Canada. It was not clear if there were any attendees outside the U.S. The group was broken down into 5 subgroups to discuss management concerns and operational measures in avoiding, responding to and recovering from an active shooter incident as well as identify next steps. A significant value to be derived from the NFPA collaboration is the potential production of a compatible joint operational document.

A new study out of George Washington University took a look at Twitter’s ongoing efforts to remove terrorist sympathizers from the platform and found that the tactic had a substantial effect.
According the report, announced Feb. 18 by the Program on Extremism, the social media platform's consistent suspension of English-speaking, Islamic State-sympathetic accounts between August and September of 2015 resulted in substantial disruption to the number of followers per account.

A court order requiring Apple to create a way to help law enforcement get access to a terrorist's smartphone amounts to an "unprecedented" stretch of an antiquated law — one that is likely to spark an epic fight pitting privacy against national security, legal scholars said. Typically, law enforcement has filed for warrants under seal, and courts have issued orders under seal, to protect the confidentiality of ongoing criminal investigations.
